David Campese reveals backlash over Joe Schmidt comments after Ellis Park miracle
Campese, which was contacted on Monday morning, said: “I am eating a modest pier. It is great to see Wallabies’s wonderful and a little Australian background entering the game.”
Since the result, Campese has been bombed with a message from Wallabies fans after Australia’s biggest wins.

“Don’t expect any comments from me after that, Camp Campe said. Orum I’m very passionate about the game. What do I say – and I always have it – but I think it’s enough. I’m tired of being abused by people.
“After that, I decided to give everything rugbi.”
Campese said he was not surprised that O’Connor would help Wallabies to direct victory.
“I made a radio report in South Africa, and I said I thought I thought it would be a game close to 27-21, Camp said Campese. “If they lose or win, my police.

“I wasn’t saying that [the selection of O’Connor] It was wrong. I was just saying that there was a man who had existed for 15 years and knew what he was doing. Performance, which did not play a test in three years, has shown that he still understood. He wasn’t ashamed. He took them to them.
“South Africans have not seen such a back game for a long time.

“It was the first Aussie to win a super championship in 10 years [with the Crusaders this year]. For me, Tate McDermott and I Donaldson are the best 9-10 of Australia. Then James needs to come with 20 or 30.
“If I had lost as a player, I would never say what I said. But we used to win, my friend.”
When the result was asked if the result changed his mind about Schmidt, Campese said: “It wasn’t really. It was just a choice difference. I will not say anymore. I will put myself in trouble.”
